The ACS PTO and PTSA groups extend a warm welcome to all prospective and returning parents. For those who are new to the school, we can help in turn the challenges associated with relocation into positive new experiences for you and your family. If you are a returning family, you may be surprised at the variety of new PTO/A activities on offer, and encourage all to participate in our extended international community.
